About MeThis high quality clockwork 16mm cine-camera was used for news gathering (outside studio work) by Grampian Television. The camera held two and a half minutes of film so that in circumstances where it might be used for live action (such as football at Pittodrie Stadium) the cameraman had to have a good "feel" for a goal about to be scored . It was used in conjunction with the larger Bach Auricon Pro 600 camera.
